This is debunked by taking a snapshot of the arrow in flight prior to it striking the victims head.
Note that the arrow flies in a "arc" flight path. This is true of archery, but not at close range.
Draw a mental line from the arrow path to the head and you will note that it is about to strike the victim at the nose area, not the forehead as the video editor chose.
Note that the line that the body and feet of the archer on on places the arrow passing harmlessly to the right of the victim, by at least 5 feet. Note that the victim places himself on a slanted line to the archer.
The victim does fall naturally to the floor, but an arrow never strikes him. Nor does the arrow appear to everyone on the set that is in awe and horror. The arrow is quick cut in, at a high angle to the head by the tricky editor who has figured out digital editing with his new imac.
We use this technique quite a bit in our music video editing.
